More than a dozen ULEZ cameras were vandalised in a single town ahead of the first day of the London-wide expansion earlier this week.

The Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) means drivers face paying a daily £12.50 charge to drive in all London boroughs.

Previously it only covered all areas within the North and South Circular Roads.

On the day the ULEZ expansion happened, August 29, 14 cameras, within a mile and a half stretch on the A224 in Bromley, south east London, had been damaged.

The controversial cameras have been spray painted, smashed or had the wires cut at junctions in Court Road and Cray Avenue.

Only two of 16 cameras on the stretch of road had escaped untouched.

The expansion, which is expected to add £2.5million a day to City Hall coffers, has sparked city-wide protests and accusations Mr Khan has "declared war on motorists".

The mayor defended the expansion, saying: "I am not prepared to stand idly by when we have the ability to save lives and tackle the climate crisis."
